New YoRK, Mar. 3O-To- days stock
market presented somewhat of contrast
to those Of the past few days, the leading
shares becoming quiet, with narrow fuatu-
auons, and the interest in the trading was
monopolized by few Of the speclates.
The leading operators showed disposition
to allow the market TO take care OF itself,
the peculiar state OF the money market
being the principal inducement to this
course. The traders aud the foreigners
were Tree sellers OF stock, especially early
In the day, but supporting orders confine1
the resulting declines to Insignificant frac.
tions only. The unsettled condition OF
trunk line matters was the principal factor
In the selling movement, aud the trading
In oil the leading shares was quiet aud
spiritlees. Several OF the specialties, how.
ever, displayed decided activity aud
strength, the Gould stocks being especially
prominent
The opening was rather heavy this morn.
Ing, most stocks showing small declines
from last evenings final figures. Tue
market was active, but feverish and un.
settled In the early trading, though heavy
tone was soon developed in majority Of
the list. The movement In prices, however,
was Insignificant either way, and toward
noon the market became more settled and
quiet. In the afternoon comparative dull.
pess overspread the market, while n much
flrmer tone was developed in trading.
